The Minnesota State University Moorhead Concert Choir, the university’s premier choral ensemble, will provide an evening of choral music at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 15, in the sanctuary of Christ Lutheran Church, 509 Kansas Street NW in Preston, MN.
The concert will feature a variety of musical styles, ranging from Renaissance and Baroque motets to American folk songs and spirituals. Highlights of the program include the familiar Lost in the Night by F. Melius Christiansen, Lux Arumque, by the contemporary American composer Eric Whitacre, and the popular arrangement of the American folk song, Shenandoah, by James Erb. Other composers and arrangers represented on the program include William Byrd, Orlando di Lasso, Josef Rheinberger, André Thomas, and Moses Hogan.
The Concert Choir is conducted by Dr. Paul Nesheim who is in his sixth year as the director of choral activities at MSUM. Dr. Nesheim previously served on the faculties of Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota, and Northern State University, Aberdeen, South Dakota, and during the 2009-2010 academic year, he was a visiting professor and conductor of the Concert Choir at the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music in Appleton, WI. He is a graduate of St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota, and he holds advanced degrees from Arizona State University and the University of Arizona.
Admission is free. A free will donation will help defray choir expenses.
